The Swedish Football Association have organized a nationwide knock-out cup competition known as Svenska Cupen for 69 years, first between 1941 and 1953 and then again from 1967 to present day. There have been a few years in these two periods when cup competition has not been held. The present cup holders are Mjällby AIF, who beat Hammarby IF, in the 2026 final. It involves professional and amateur clubs of all standards playing against each other, creating the possibility for "minnows" to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament. 13 teams have reached the final while playing in a lower division, however two of these reached the final unhindered during the 1948 tournament when no first tier teams competed. All of the second tier teams have lost in the final except for Råå IF in 1948 and Degerfors IF in 1992–93, both of whom faced second tier opposition.

Malmö FF have a record 16 cup titles, followed by AIK and IFK Göteborg who has eight titles each. Malmö FF is also the club who have won most consecutive titles and the record of appearing in the most finals, they won three consecutive titles between 1973 and 1975 and having appeared in 23 finals. AIK have finished as runners-up for a record of eight times. Örebro SK are the team to have appeared in the most finals without winning the cup title, they have appeared and lost in two finals, their latest final was in 2015.
